My favourite character is Lenny. Lenny’s Dad goes to fight in the war. Before he goes he gives Lenny a badge with 2 animals engraved on it, a lion for bravery and a unicorn for courage. He is evacuated to the country and Lenny needs all his bravery and courage.

This was a fictional book I liked to read. I liked it when he found the unicorn, but most of all when he saw his mum again as it made me happy. I would recommend.

It was a good book but it was a bit too short. Mick was my favourite character because he was very kind to Lenny and gave very good advice. I would recommend this book to someone else.
